SETI is GREEDY... how can I change that?

[ku]

I'm trying to split my CPU power between PRIME95, RC5, and SETI@HOME. When I run all three, S@H takes all the CPU power. When I run PRIME95 and RC5, it is split evenly. I've tried lowering the priority of PRIME95 and RC5 and highering S@H without any luck. Does anyone know how to split the CPU power 3 way evenly between prime95, rc5, and s@h?

Because SETI@Home don't run at the lower priority.... When you run it with another DC project it always takes all the spare CPU cycles and leave the other starving...
If you're running Linux you could renice all the three DC tasks to share the same priority. With Windows, I don't know how to do that...

ehh.. not necessarily always true.... i was running eccp-109, seti, and that anthrax/smallpox program... i had em all at 33% after fiddeling with priority... or dumb luck.. or opening them in a correct order...

i'll try opening them in a certain order...

bob: where can I get that anthrax/smallpox one?
